The latest results from the GP Patient Survey take in two waves of data, collected from January to March 2015 and July to September 2015.

In all, 2.4 million questionnaires were sent out and 854,000 patients responded with their views.

In order to rank surgeries, the Trinity Mirror Data Unit looked at seven key questions asked in the survey.

They were: the percentage of people who had a good experience making their last appointment; the percentage happy with waiting times at the surgery; the percentage who thought their GP gave them enough time; the percentage who thought their GP was listening to them; the percentage who 'definitely' had trust and confidence in their GP; the percentage who described their overall experience of the surgery as good; and the percentage who would recommend the surgery to newcomers to the area.

Some 7,709 surgeries across England were ranked in each category, then given an overall ranking based on the sum of those individual ranks.

Surgeries which had fewer than 50 responses from the survey were excluded on the basis the sample size was too small to draw significant conclusions.
